Check the laws and regulations on the use of
mobile devices and their accessories in the areas
where you drive. Always obey them. The use of
these devices may be prohibited or restricted in
certain areas. Go to
www.motorola.com/callsmart
for more information.
Your mobile device lets you communicate by voice
and data—almost anywhere, anytime, wherever
wireless service is available and safe conditions
allow. When driving a car, driving is your first
responsibility. If you choose to use your mobile
device while driving, remember the following tips:
•
Get to know your Motorola mobile device
and its features such as speed dial and
redial.
If available, these features help you
to place your call without taking your
attention off the road.
•
When available, use a
hands-free device.
If
possible, add an additional
layer of convenience to your
mobile device with one of
the many Motorola Original hands-free
accessories available today.
•
Position your mobile device within easy
reach.
Be able to access your mobile
device without removing your eyes from
the road. If you receive an incoming call at
an inconvenient time, if possible, let your
voice mail answer it for you.
•
Let the person you are speaking with
know you are driving; if necessary,
suspend the call in heavy traffic or
hazardous weather conditions.
Rain, sleet,
snow, ice, and even heavy traffic can be
hazardous.
•
Do not take notes or look up phone
numbers while driving.
Jotting down a “to
do” list or going through your address book
takes attention away from your primary
responsibility—driving safely.
•
Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if
possible, place calls when your car is not
moving or before pulling into traffic.
If you
must make a call while moving, dial only a
few numbers, check the road and your
mirrors, then continue.
•
Do not engage in stressful or emotional
conversations that may be distracting.
Make people you are talking with aware
you are driving and suspend conversations
that can divert your attention away from
the road.
•
Use your mobile device to call for help.
Dial 911 or other local emergency number
in the case of fire, traffic accident, or
medical emergencies.*
